Doesn't anyone here watch "Halt and Catch fire"?

[lunamagica]

It's on AMC and its ratings are terrible. Now it is on its fourth and final season.

I'll admit that season one wasn't that great, but the following seasons more than made up for it. It is a great show, well-written and great acting. I'm really hooked on it and I feel sad that it's ending this year.

So, does anyone else like the show?

1. I loved that show - have been waiting for the next seasons

Saw the first & second season on netflix, am anxiously waiting for the rest of them.

Yes, loved it, even the first season.

16. Watched the first two seasons but decided to take a break. I think it's very well done and the

acting is really good but there's just too much angst. It makes me tired after a while. I will go back and watch the rest because as I said, I think it's good. Only maybe in smaller doses. I was chain watching.

2. My S-I-L is the costumer on that show.

I saw the first season but I don't have cable anymore.

12. Oh, I love how Donna dresses! Overall I think your SIL is doing a great job on

reflecting the time period.

The first three seasons are on Netflix.

3. Did you know HCF was originally a joke in computer engineering?

8. I know now. I never heard the phrase until I watched the show

9. And I didn't know the show existed until this post!

I lived through that period.

11. LOL! Give it a try! It's on Netflix now (the first three seasons)

[Xipe Totec]

18. I will! nt

4. Yeah, they lost me first season...

It sort of is on my list to eventually watch but not high. Glad the later seasons got better.

5. It's good ...

It lost some edge when Lee Pace character was toned down.

I like watching Scoot McNairy...he was in this season's Fargo, took me a few minutes to realize who it was.
Mr. Dixie likes it for the depiction of how computers developed.

17. In one episode they attend a trade show and see the apple display

That was really fun.

6. I like it but it may be an aquired taste. I was in the industry at that time so some is familiar

[lunamagica]

14. That must have been so exciting! I'm not a techie -never got further than making HTMLpages by hand

on notepad, registering domain names and uploading pages- but I still find the technical aspects of the show fascinating

7. I watched it mainly for the nostalgia

But now I'm just sort of hanging in there to see how the trainwreck ends.

All of the characters are pretty pathetic. It's usually a good idea to throw someone likeable in the mix.

[lunamagica]

10. I think Gordon is...well, he is kind of pathetic, but I find him likeable. Haley is adorable. The

kid who plays her is a great actress. I also like the Character Anna Chumsky (sp) plays (I can't remeber her character's name)*

*I'm up to season 4 chapter 6, so my opinion on any of those characters may change

[jberryhill]

13. lol

LMK when you are caught up.

15. Technical question about the show. This may be a really dunb question, but I want to know

When Cameron and Donna made Community, and Cameron created "Space Bike", how did they create the graphics? Were they done by coding, or was drawing involved?
